Sažetak
The author briefly analyses 52 letters, which Ivan Kostrenčić sent to Franjo Rački between 1866 and 1892 in various occasions. The letters are in the safekeeping of the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb as a part of Franjo Rački’s legacy. They primarily represent a source for an insight into the scientific, cultural and political activity of these two distinguished Croatian intellectuals in the second half of the 1860s and the first half of the 1870s. In this context, it is noteworthy that during his stay and active work in Vienna (1868–1875), Kostrenčić kept intensive contacts with the members of ‘Croatian colonies’ who lived there (Metel Ožegović, Petar Preradović, Baltazar Bogišić, Tadija Smičiklas, Ivan Danilo, and others).
A comprehensive and major part of the correspondence between Kostrenčić and Rački makes the issue of the fate of the archival material related to the conspiracy led by Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan. Based on the research of this material and fruitful cooperation between Kostrenčić and Rački, Kostrenčić published 1871 in Zagreb a selection from the collection of poems by Fran Krsto Frankopan entitled Vrtić, whilst Rački collected and published 1873 in Zagreb – in the Croatian Academy’s edition – the Izprave o uroti bana P. Zrinskoga i kneza Fr. Frankopana. In the context of political problems, in the correspondence between Kostrenčić and Rački we may occasionally come across their comments on the then pressing political events in the Habsburg Monarchy (e.g. the issue of the Austro-Hungarian and the Croatian-Hungarian Settlements; the position of Slavic nations in the Monarchy; the activity of Croatian politicians in Vienna; the issue of Žumberak, etc.).
